N.M. Admin. Code § 7.20.12.19

Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 23, December 10, 2024

Section 7.20.12.19 - HEARINGS AND APPEALS

A. Appeals of any sanction except revocation or suspension of a license or imposition of emergency sanction(s) without prior hearing as outlined in Section 17 above, are made in writing to the LCA within 10 business days of receipt of the official notice of revocation, suspension, denial of licensure or sanction.

B. When an appeal is filed the sanction is stayed until a hearing is held and final determination issued or an informal resolution reached, unless it is an emergency revocation or suspension of license or imposition of emergency sanctions. A hearing will be held within 30 calender days.

C. The entity filing the appeal may also request an informal resolution conference at that time. The purpose of the informal resolution conference is to allow the entity receiving the sanction an opportunity to present information on plans to remedy deficiencies and discuss possible pre-hearing dispositions. This does not apply to the emergency revocation or suspension of a license or to the imposition of emergency sanctions.

D. The LCA and the licensee may informally resolve any filed or potential appeal arising from the imposition of sanctions. However, in the case of an emergency revocation or suspension of licensure and/or the imposition of an emergency sanction, there is no stay available.
